Great Edge-led 4k TV, only shame is contrast..

164 cm (65") 26 September 2019 by wearelosingyou (Singapore)

Before making my purchase, I did considerable amount of research as getting a 65inch tv is a not an easy decision and I wanted to make sure I'm spending wisely on a good & reliable product.
Along with budget, I had other considerations like brans, of tv, type of panel, technology & etc. I settled with this model bcos mainly it could go brighter than the x8000g, has dolby vision and is edge-led. If I had more budget, I would totally go for the x9500g mode due to its VA panel and full array led panel.
That said, I love the x8500g. andrioid tv has been a breeze to use, colors are really bright, watching 4k or Dolby vision enabled shows is an amazing experience.
The only con is that its contrast levels is pretty dismal due to the fact it's using an IPS panel. You basically don't get deep blacks and you'll notice it clearly if you watch movies in a dark room / setting.
If you have the budget, go for x9500g. But x8500g still can carry its own very well if you are not particular about contrast levels.

Disappointed

Very very slow to read content from USB. very difficult to connect sound bar even the sound bar is from Sony.
Messy arrangement of connected device. Eg dvd, tv box, USB.
Sony is still very far behind to Samsung.

Mixed Usage

164 cm (65") 28 May 2020 by Gooner73 (Singapore)

This TV has great peak brightness and excellent reflection handling, so it should have no trouble overcoming glare in a bright room, and the image remains accurate when viewed at an angle. It's a great TV for gaming, as it has outstanding low input lag, the lowest of any recent Sony TV, and an excellent response time.

My 1st smart TV

123 cm (49'') 26 May 2020 by dr rayz (Singapore)

Tv came about 10 days ago. Nice to watch my movie on a big screen. Sound effects is good except not much of subwoofer Feels. Beautiful design Only if the stands can Be rotated, that would be perfect. Overall a wonderful android Tv.

Resolution was awesome.. user friendly and the sound system is very good..switching from TV to Apps or vice versa is just a click on the remote, fast downloading from the apps. Overall I am satisfied .

Simply Love this Sony TV!

164 cm (65") 06 April 2020 by macchris777 (Singapore)

This is my 2nd X85 65" series. Bought my first one for my master bedroom 4 years ago, it was a C series. And when an opportunity came, I jumped into buying this G series even though my 60" Sharp TV is still working! I always like the colour tone of Sony TV, the slim profile and of course the sound systems! I do find the X85G series the best value money can buy, high specs and reasonably price! Will I go for the 3rd one in the future, you bet!

Overall video and audio quality is great.

Only hiccup is whenever you change Into a channel that’s play Dolby digital there’s a loud cracking noise. Even though the sound volume is low during channel change. Hopefully there’s is software to resolve this issue. Current set mute to avoid issue

Nice TV, but issue with Toggle Button Service

123 cm (49'') 11 March 2020 by CLaw88 (Singapore)

Bought this in Jan.. For about 3 times, after watching Toggle for a while and switching back to TV, there's no sound for all TV channels. Tried various mtds, and after playing a Toggle video again, and returning to TV, the sound comes back.
Toggle takes quite some time to load usually too..

Low quality sound

Amazing product

139 cm (55") 11 February 2020 by BLSG (Singapore)

this set came in as a warranty replacement set. i was given another brand to chose as well. BUT..... Sony its still our preferred choice. Its quality and color proof our choice to stay with sony is still right.

Great TV but already obsolete

123 cm (49'') 03 February 2020 by Epigram (Singapore)

I replaced my 9 year old Sony Bravia with this 2019 Bravia. It was awesome moving from Full HD to 4K HDR. Sad to say this 2019 model is already obsolete because it will not receive the update to Android TV 9.0 unlike other 2019 models.

Good viewing experience, VERY UNHAPPY NO APPLE TV+

123 cm (49'') 02 February 2020 by Bill110386 (Singapore)

I'm happy so far with the quality of image and design.
Not so happy with the sound.
It would be nice to have screen brightness adjustment on the control or somehow easier accessible, because need to adjust often depending on time of day and brightmess of show.
Big minus NOT HAPPY at all is not having Apple TV+ available on the 49 inches model, when paying for premium range TV.

Great visuals and sound: SONY 4K HDR, REC.2020!

I am a SONY fan. Been loyal to the brand for decades. SONY TVs have the best picture quality and sound, bar none. I recently upgraded to this model as my old SONY TV (HD) is more than 8 years old (fully operational), and I wanted to enjoy APPLE TV+, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in 4K. I am so happy with this TV. Thank you SONY! Namaste.

Good Colour and sound

The new TV was delivered on 17Dec19, was very please it but within a week it broken down. This is the first time a new TV broken down within One week after purchase. (We bought other brands before). Subseuently it was replaced with a new Sony TV but we had to go without a TV for a week. Overall Sony TV has a good sound good pic.

Great features

Bought it about 2 months ago. Still having this irritating freeze up. Followed their instructions on some issues, still not helping. No service, just talk. Will strongly not recommend their products, due to their poor service.

A little more would have made it perfect

164 cm (65") 08 January 2020 by Bertieboi (Singapore)

Love the graphics, love that it pairs with my Sony soundbar without the need of an additional controller at most times. 2 bits that could be improved on though:
1) If there was an app that we could control the set with via our mobile
2) I guess maybe I don't have a perfect understanding of how to maximize the google play store and its apps. I wish the partner marketing could be stronger.
Otherwise, it's a brilliant product and me and my fam are loving it.

Great Quality!

139 cm (55") 08 January 2020 by CherryM (Singapore)

I really love the size and the resolution of this TV. It is very easy to use. I just hope that the capability to connect to airplay will become available soon. It was initially standing but we were worried that it will fall due to it's size and because I have a child at home, so we decided to mount it on the wall and it was a good decision. It doesn’t look very big now but it securely mounted on the wall which is very important.

Excellent with brilliant colours!

I bought this a month ago & my whole family have been enjoying watching movies & tv progs ever since. The 4K resolution is simply amazing with real enriching & dynamic colours! Add to that the Sony sound bar that comes with the sub-woofer!!! Its awesome! Its the 2nd set that i bought barely a few months after i purchased the smaller version at 55". Its really worth it!

Colour is not natural

123 cm (49'') 19 August 2019 by Ryo84 (Singapore)

Got the model for less than 3 weeks ago. Experience difficulty for receiving digital signal. Called customer care for assistance but was told that they are not able to help as the issue does not concern to the tv itself. Digital antenna work well with other tv before. Certain colour is not natural

Great TV, but...

164 cm (65") 13 August 2019 by deepzpace (Singapore)

The TV is really great and a big step up from my previous TV in both size and colours. Android TV however is buggy and not the most intuitive software. The microphone in the remote is an excellent idea though it doesnt always work. A simple restart does the trick. Overall very happy with my purchase. Hope that the TV lasts.

Dark sceen looked washed out

108 cm (43”) 27 July 2019 by Jesp15 (Singapore)

Hard to watched netflix with dark scene. I tried different settings but same result with grayish and low contrast on dark scene. Also, my unit have dirt underneath the panel. Android experience is not the most responsive.a

Great set

123 cm (49'') 19 July 2019 by BigScreen (Singapore)

Bought this a month ago and very satisfied with the set. While some features are only available on larger sets, this one has everything I need. Great HDR. Great contrast. The android TV functions is quite good too.

So far so good

139 cm (55") 18 July 2019 by Bimmerhead (Singapore)

Had TV for a week now. Colors are natural and easy on the eyes. Picture clear and crisp without being harsh. Netflix integration and apps integration are great touch. Easier to interact with the TV than my stupid Starhub set top box which is super slow in this day and age. Think I made the right choice over LG and SAMSUNG.
